ScienceDaily: Vitamin D May Reduce Falls In Elderly Nursing Home Residents

New research suggests that reducing the number of falls suffered by seniors in nursing homes may be helped by taking a vitamin, along with other measures known to decrease falls.

Add in the calcium from D-fortified milk, and if they do fall they’re less likely to get hurt.
